Social network is a social structure that made up of nodes, ties, given weights, directions
and signs. Individual, intermediate and group measures provides overall social behavior
and interaction. UCINet is social network analysis software used draw and analyze
collected data that allows elucidating complex networks that describing real data. This
research describes the sociality of a batch of Computational Mathematics students and
their interaction that lead to a complex relationship and social structure. The objective is
to investigate the basic principles of social network analysis in terms of relationships and
structures, to identify the differentiation of the group of Computational Mathematics
students by adding few attributes and to use mathematical and graphical techniques to
analyze the collected data and clarify their relationships. The collected data is represented
as a directed graph to measure centrality, subgroup, and cohesion. Results indicate that
Malaysian students mingle based on their gender and religious background which reflects
their grades.
